Video: Sony Reader Touch Edition gets touched, desktop software upped to 3.0

Sony’s Daily Edition may be taking a front row seat in everyone’s hearts and minds right now, but let’s not forget just three weeks prior the company revamped its other two, decidedly network connectivity-free e-book reader models. MobileTechReview got its hands on the PRS-600 “Touch Edition,” which scores points for an easy-to-use dictionary and enhanced note-taking abilities that are purported to sync to the desktop, at least eventually. Turns out the screen isn’t as sharp as the PRS-505 and there’s a bit of glare, but there’s certainly more contrast with the new device. Last we heard both readers were due for check out by the end of this month, although as of this writing only Pocket Edition seems to be available on Sony Style — and if you’re already enjoying a Sony reader, you’ll be happy to know that 3.0 desktop software is now making the rounds for PC and Mac. Video after the break.

    Sick and bored with your boring old truss? This useful little robot might be just the answer you are looking for. It might navigate a truss structure using its 3D-printed bi-directional gear innards, unscrew a beam with its rotational mechanism and reattach it, transforming the structure right into a new shape.
